How to ship items at the post office?

I have an iphone 4 that i want to ship to a friend and i'm have a local usps office near me, but i have never shipped a physical item before. Does anyone know how the process works?

You can take it to the counter and they weigh it and class it and charge you and then do the rest

You must package your own mail and have it ready to go. Wrap the item in bubble wrap several times and put it in a bubble envelope. Seal it well with two inch tape for security. Address the envelope like you would a letter. Take it to the post office, they will put it on the scale and their computer will calculate the cost.

Standard post usually take longer to process, so I recommend you ship your item through private, local couriers instead. Express delivery is also non-negotiable when you're sending food to USA and other countries; if your item is valuable enough to secure its safety, then standard post should be your last resort.
